The Tube

This is why I buy this style tube of toothpaste. It freaks me out every time I open it. Yet another foolproof way to feel anxious. Voila!

Sonicare

I've been using an electric toothbrush for many years now. I may be the first one to admit this: I can't stand being forced to brush my quadrants for 30 seconds each.

Some days I want to spend more time in one quadrant, and other days I want to spend less.

My relationship with my Sonicare has gotten so thick with tension, lately I'm beginning to lose the desire to brush my teeth at all. And, as a 3 times a day brusher, this is weighing heavily on my heart.

I look at my toothbrush while it rests in it's charger and wonder how I can dismantle the timing device to gain control of my teethbrushing once and for all. But I can't. I've tried.

These days, when I think it's time to brush, I get this anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach that Sonicare is going to control my destiny for the next two minutes and I can do nothing to stop it.

If you do not own an electric toothbrush, and would like a toothpaste filled dose of anxiety, go buy one today.
